Default They're not called Peacocks anymore

This is because the former name "peacock" offended people. This is a
politically correct change to eliminate that filthy C-WORD from our
vocabulary. Aren't you glad that your government is protecting you from
the word """COCK"""!!!!!


They were always peafowls, but the males are still called peacocks and
females peahens.
